Hey folks,
is there any Python SDK for screener.in webscraper? Been digging around but can't find anything solid.
Need to pull some financial data for a project, and doing it manually sucks.
If not, any recommendations? Or am I stuck building my own scraper?
Thanks in advance!

PS: If you've tried scraping screener.in before, how bad was the anti-bot stuff? Heard it's kinda strict.
Hey! I was also looking for a Python SDK for screener.in webscraper a while back but couldn’t find anything official.
You might wanna check out `requests` + `BeautifulSoup` or `selenium` if the site has heavy JS.
For anti-bot stuff, yeah, it’s pretty strict. You’ll need to rotate headers and maybe use proxies.
If you’re lazy (like me), maybe try ScraperAPI or Apify—they handle the hard parts for you.
Nope, no Python SDK for screener.in webscraper exists afaik.
But you can build one pretty easily with `playwright`—it’s way better than selenium for modern sites.
Anti-bot is annoying tho. They rate-limit like crazy.
Pro tip: Slow down your requests and mimic human behavior. Or just pay for their API if it’s for serious work.
I’ve scraped screener.in before, and it’s a pain. No Python SDK for screener.in webscraper, so you’re on your own.
Used `selenium` with random delays and fake user agents. Still got blocked a few times.
If you’re just pulling small amounts of data, maybe try manual + Excel? Otherwise, prepare for a fight.
Why bother scraping when you can use yfinance or Alpha Vantage for financial data?
But if you *must* scrape screener.in, no, there’s no Python SDK for screener.in webscraper.
Their anti-bot is brutal—CAPTCHAs, IP bans, the works.
Try `scrapy` with rotating proxies if you’re committed. Or just find another data source lol.
Built my own scraper for screener.in last year. No Python SDK for screener.in webscraper, sadly.
Used `requests-html` and had to add random sleeps + proxy rotation. Even then, it’s flaky.
If you’re doing this for a client, warn them it might break anytime. Screener.in hates bots.
Hey, I feel your pain. No Python SDK for screener.in webscraper exists, so you’ll have to DIY.
`selenium-wire` worked for me—lets you handle headers and proxies easily.
But yeah, the anti-bot is strict. Maybe try their official API if you can afford it?

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Sounds like I’m stuck building my own scraper.
Tried `selenium` with some delays, but still got blocked after a few requests. Anyone got a working proxy setup they’d recommend?
Also, yfinance doesn’t have the granular data I need, so screener.in is my only option. Appreciate the help!
